great heroes must never die in our minds.ONYEOCHA MAGA BECROFT [03-31-2008] »»»

Magnificent web pages. Should be "mandatory" reading by all school children to help them realize what a fantastic country they live in regardless of political movement, or direction.Douglas Kenyon, Henderson, NV Bn 1931 [03-31-2008] »»»

Thank God for this site,for the people that visit it(even the few that disagree with Jefferson)& the students that diplayed the initiative to find it. To few public schools here on the "Left Coast" spend much time on America's experiment in self governance. Sadly,we lost our Republic during the very early years of our 20th century. Even worse,no corrupt govt.was ever successfully corrected without a violent revolution. with all the firepower & war technology exclusively in the hands of that govt(it matters not,which party's in power), correction is almost an impossible dream.Ultimately,it was our own fault,because we did not guard it jealously as we were advised. now only God,& a diligence search for our God given liberties will our Great Republic prevail.God bless us all!-- a cocerned patriot.walter stephens, age 62 sacramento [03-31-2008] »»»

I want to know exactly what the decloration of independence says! I'm watching the movie Jhon Adams right now, thtat's why I want to know what it says.Courtany [03-31-2008]

These men are amazing! They stood up for what they believe in and made no apologies. I think America has forgotten our fore fathers will. We need to remember the spirit that they had, and the hope for their country. A FREE country!Jaime [03-30-2008] »»»

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.I think all the facts he did were not appropriate to do and shouldnt have been done.Shehzour Macci, Chicago, IL 60659 --MY AGE : 14 [03-26-2008] »»»

I am a proud American, and I pray everyday for God to give our leaders the wisdom they are lacking to save our country from going into certain disarray. With costs of living rising, and jobs being lost, how much longer can we withstand these colliding economic pressures? Our dollar, once the economic symbol of the New World, has lost it's place as leader of the Free World. Who is to blame for this atrocity? When will this country see a depression that will rival that which began in 1929? It is just a matter of time unless our current leaders open their collective eyes. Thank you.David R. Stidom, Age 44, New Middletown, OH [03-24-2008]

i would like you to send a picture of the declaration of independence to my email idahblueyo, bahrain bld 449 road 813 gudaibiya [03-24-2008]

I'm proud to visit this site and learn about our founding fathers. They were all very brave.Steve Shane [03-24-2008] »»»

i have just really read and understood the decloration of independence, since seeing john adams on hbo. i have been troubled the way our country is going. are we a free state or do we have our own king george . after watching john adams on HBO and reading the decloration of indepence i feel this to more true than anyone would admit. maybe we need to go back to school on this document and really abide by what it says.david rehorn, tulsa ok i am 50 [03-24-2008] »»»

it's time to fire the current pres. He's destroying our country along with our rights. he is most certainly FIRED!cherrie and les steele, we are 42 yrs. old and stand up for the orig. Declaration, not this new crap. [03-21-2008] »»»

I think the Declaration of Independence is a great part of our independence becase it shows that we have aright to be free and not a slave it does not mader if you are black,white,red,or purple we all have aright to be free and not a slave its a croll croll thing to not be kind to people that are a different color then you are so that is why i think the declaration of independence is a very good thingLilley, ?

What a brave and brilliant document.Mary, Virginia, USA [03-21-2008] »»»

Reading the Declaration points out how this country was founded by people with a vision on how future generations will be goverened. This is the problem with our leaders of today. Totally focused on events outside our Country which in reality have little effect if left to the those directly involved. I would love to sit and talk with the ment who created the Declaration and understand their thoughts, views, and opinions. They were true Leaders - not at all like the ones we have today who worry more about special interests than the common man....oh well, with that said, it's still the best country there is....God Bless America....Bob Y, Phoenix Az and the SF Bay Area [03-21-2008] »»»

With the times being as they are; I am looking for facts about our revolutionary war heroes that are not biased by other men's thoughts.Marie Davis-King [03-21-2008] »»»

loved the show John Adams on HBO.Always read about the history of usa.was in service in 1966 and in s.e asia. glad I id it .frank lopiccolo, age 61 [03-21-2008]

This is America, and yes we are a free country. But that doesn't mean anyone can come in here and take our country for everything they can by living off the system. If you want to do it right, get a green card, get a job and live like an American. The Declaration of Independence was the best thing to happen to this country and I'm glad John Adams persued it until it was done. That was a fascinating mini-series. Now I just wish it continued.Kimberly, 39, American [03-21-2008] »»»

i love how we had fought for our independence and won it,goes to show you there isnt anything you cant do as long as you put your mind to it.Michelle Barney, Johnstown,Pennsylvania [03-19-2008] »»»

I love history and especially that of the times of jefferson adams wahington etc and the civil war. To watch this mini series only makes me more and more interested in every single man and woman that participated. I loved it and would love anymore mini series about this men who started our independence. Sometimes I wonder what they would think now.susan michael, wheeling wv age 56 [03-19-2008] »»»

i like the declaration of independence so i just had to do it...nakayla, age 9 city hampton [03-19-2008] »»»

i believe the declaration holds my people back. we need a green card to enter this country. huh and u call yourselves a free nation. if you are a fee nation then mexico is a slum. and we are not a slum country. we are more free than you are. americans do not need a green card to enter our countryfelipe lopez, i am 46 yrs old. [03-19-2008]

I am reading this wonderful document while watching the HBO mini-series John Adams. Watching this movie and discovering what John Adams, Ben Franklin, and others had to go through in order to sway all 13 colonies in their favor, reminds us of just how close we were to becoming and entirely different nation than we have become. This is not to say that we would never have separated, only that we could have ended up an entirely different nation. Understanding the courage these men displayed, in the face of what in their minds was almost certain death, should make one proud to be from this great country. Being the optomist that I am, I find it hard to believe that men like these are still around, and will one day put this country back on the track our forefathers first set us on over 230 years ago. It gives me a great comfort for the future of my children and their children.Tim Cade, Age 32, Anderson SC [03-18-2008] »»»

I was shocked to find out one of my great grandparents signed the Declaration of Independence.Pat Hoffman, Dallas, TX [03-18-2008] »»»

A really well constructed site with lots of useful information and also the first time I've ever see "The Declaration" and share with others what is a beautifully written and concise document. Tis sad though to realise that in these modern times that the ideals of those ages sometimes is lost in the rush for personal gain and profit.Tony Brown, Adelaide, South Australia, 58; [03-18-2008] »»»

I was very impressed by the site, it brought back memories of high shool and junior high. The reason i wanted to select information is for my 13 yr. old daughter Kayla, who after watching "National Treasure" and not knowing anything about the Declaration of Independence. I really think it's a shame to be a citizen of this great country and our children our not being taught about our history as a country and a nation. Sincerely Yours Michelle D. EdenfieldMichelle D.

Until Common Sense, the Rights of Man, the Decleration of Independance, and the Constitution of the United States of America are present in every Americanís Library and mind, they can never consider themselves American - for they do not know what an American is.Blake Ragghianti, Pittsburgh, PA. 25 year old male. Thomas Paine Devotee. [03-18-2008]

What a wonderful instrument. It is inspiring that our forefathers were so strong of mind and character to have created this document as well as stood up and presented it to an oppressive overseer form of governement. It shows that when men and women of a nation decide to "make needed changes" that it can be done, with some sacrifice, but successfully concluded. Don't forget that as the political seasons continue to show us that changes must eventually be made, we must be ready to do just that - wholesale changes or completely start over - to put our country back on the course that made us great - "kick the rascals out" fortitude, if you will.Paul Estes, 63 [03-14-2008] »»»

your website has taught me many things on well everything! i luv your site! by the way, for all you people who think we texans are cowboys and cowgirls, please do not come wearing a cowboy outfit cause you think you fit in. you dont. thank you have a great day!Ivanna Icecream(jill), im from texas [03-14-2008]

This document is my favorite document I have read it many times. Even though I have read it several times it still gives me chills, when I think of what these men where giving up when they signed it. These men gave us our freedom and I will always thank them for that.Jason E. Saylor [03-14-2008] »»»

I believe the Declaration is one reason why our country is so strong. "In God We Trust" is the main reason we have good lives here. He's always watching out for us even if we can't feel him there. If we all believed and put faith in God, we would have a better world. Keep God in our lives!Rachele Carroll, 14 yrs [03-14-2008] »»»

I love history, and I think it is so interesting! I honestly love the thrill of discovery and learning new ideas, to find out that they have already been discovered. History repeats itself all the time, and I think we can learn from history to better the future!Krista, Nebraska [03-12-2008]

Imani Rodgers [03-12-2008]

Well my thought on the Declaration of Independence are that: It states that The USA, is a Free country. The people always get to decide the fate of their country. And it also states that all men are created equal.Jessica Doyle, Tucson, Az, 14 [03-12-2008] »»»

the declaration is some of the hardest reading so farBOB, maplewood, MN 15 [03-11-2008]

I didn't get much American history in HS in the fifties. I'm retired and very hungry for it now. We must pass it on to our children so they will know not to take their Liberty for granted. Many paid the price for the freedom. It could be lost.Verna Whitney, related to Charles Carroll thru my Dodds family line [03-11-2008] »»»

Our country has the honor to claim one of the most precious and monumental documents ever created to lead not just a nation but to guide man kind to a new to millennium of human evolution. Many people come this country for the privilege live, promote, and die for those beliefs. Why can't independent counsel be created to pursue or promote the spirit of this document. A counsel that independently reviews our countries behavior independent of the three branches of power. It should be used to change values currently existing how government is used to promote the wealth and power of a select few. It should encourage wealth and well being of all. The purpose of government is to ensure a fair government for all and to step in when abuses are taking place. This is the only article left that can unite a country. The unfortunate values the run ramped in our society ("it's OK to cheat if you don't get caught.") abuses but religious entities have separate a country, and the list can go on. It's time to remind/reeducate/instill/promote a common becon to everyone.Fredrick L. Hernandez [03-07-2008]
